Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus armeniaca) – Cold Pressed

Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus armeniaca) is a rich, nourishing carrier oil suitable for all skin types. It is closely related to Sweet Almond Oil and shares many of its properties.

Apricot Oil is a good source of EFAs and Vitamin A. It has a soothing effect on the skin, reducing roughness and is good for dry and sensitive skins.

It has a lighter texture than Sweet Almond Oil making it ideal for delicate areas such as the face. This makes it the oil of choice for professional therapist’s for hand and facial aromatherapy massages.

Apricot Oil is a wonderful carrier oil. Perfect for sensitive skin and a terrific alternative to almond oil which can cause allergic reactions to those with sensitivities to nuts.

It is also a very popular in aromatherapy massage as it blends well with essential oils (and other carrier oils).

Apricot trees are though to have originated from Armenia, hence its scientific name, Prunus armeniaca. Apricot is derived from an Arabic term, albarquq, meaning “early”, since the apricot tree blooms very early in the spring
